HTC Velocity 4G Review

Score: 60.8 / 100

HTC Velocity 4G is a mid level cellphone released in 2011, including a powerful 1200 MHz Dual-Core processor, a 4.5" touch-screen, and two cameras, an 8 megapixels back side camera and a 1.3 mega-pixels front-facing camera.

The HTC Velocity 4G ships with a good performance Dual-Core processor speeding at 1200 megahertz, included in the Qualcomm Snapdragon S3 APQ8060 chip and 1 GB RAM memory. To collaborate with graphic rendering, it also has a 266 megahertz Adreno 220 GPU. This cellphone has a good 16 GB internal storage memory and an SD memory card expansion slot, allowing the user to store a couple hundred apps and games without worrying about space.

This cellphone is for sale in color black. The HTC Velocity 4G is only 5.07" long, but it still manages to hold a 4.5" screen. This cellphone is very thin and looks really nice, while it's not close to being one of the thinnest devices nowadays, with a thickness of 0.44". This cellphone doesn't feel very lightweight comparing with today standards, with a weight of 5.78 ounces.

The HTC Velocity 4G has two cameras, an 8 mega-pixels back-facing camera and a 1.3 megapixels front facing camera. This phone also films 1920x1080 Full HD videos at 30 fps, and HD 1280x720 slow motion videos up to 60 frames per second. In addition, this phone's camera also has flash and auto-focus.

HTC designed the HTC Velocity 4G with a good looking 4.5-inches display, and a 960 x 540 resolution, which makes all pictures and movies look very good. This display uses S-LCD capacitive technology, and allows multi-touch for gestures like pinch and zoom.

This device has wifi capability (although it can't be provided to other devices around, acting as a wireless modem), LTE 4G fast connectivity and 3G fast connection type, supported by HSPA, HSUPA, UMTS and EDGE technologies. This cellphone works with a SIM card for GSM carriers.

This phone packs a medium 1620 mAh Li-Ion removable battery that can keep it running for some hours, but you may need to charge it after some moderate to heavy usage. According to HTC, this cellphone has an estimated 4.6 hs talk time and a 293 hours stand by time.

This cellphone also features a few cool features like Bluetooth (allows communication with other bluetooth devices, computers, and accessories) and GPS Geolocation, and some sensors likeLight Sensor, Proximity Sensor and Accelerometer.

This phone is not cheap at all considering it costs $ 550, and other similar devices are sold for much less than that. No matter whether you will use it as a social cellphone, need a work cellphone or will use it as a gamer device, you will probably love this phone.
